Yesterday I shared a video tutorial of some tips and ways to use Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Glue dots. Click here if you missed that video. As promised, here are the details on the second card I created using the Color and Contour Bundle. Sometimes those quick and easy cards are the best.

I just love playing with the Color and Contour Bundle in the annual 2021-2022 catalog. It is pictured on page 98. I started today’s card with a Basic White card base and layered it up with some Basic Black and Polished Pink cardstock.

I love this bundle and decided to go for all black stamping. I used the blending brushes to soften a piece of white cardstock with Polished Pink and Soft Succulent ink. I added a few dotted spatters with Memento Black and Polished Pink.
